Listen "EP336: Scott Edwards - Be a Standup Comic, or Just Look Like One"
Episode Synopsis
“Not only do we see that we can succeed, but even if we fail, we just get up, dust ourselves off and try again.” A clear path emerges: work hard, listen harder, and choose businesses you’re genuinely excited about. Success isn’t just profit; it’s finding vehicles that keep you curious and energized, then learning fast when the market teaches tough lessons. The episode distills a practical mindset: sell well, listen well, and keep your timing sharp—because opportunity rewards those who ship before the boom. From clubs to submarines, Scott Edwards shows how passion and experimentation can compound into track records (and stories) that money alone can’t buy. He leans on sales, timing, and relentless curiosity, while admitting mistakes, pivots, and the importance of dusting off and trying again. The result is an approach to entrepreneurship that’s joyful, gutsy, and teachable. Scott is a lifelong entrepreneur and producer who launched one of America’s earliest full-time comedy clubs in 1980, worked with Gary Shandling, George Wallace, Bob Saget, Dana Carvey, and Jerry Seinfeld, produced TV series and large concerts, owned multiple companies (including a tourist submarine), and now hosts the Tag Team Talent Podcast.
